The Epitec Group to Resell the Google Search Appliance

DETROIT, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ — The Epitec Group announced today that it
is a full service partner in the Google Enterprise Partner program which
extends the power of the Google technologies to other organizations and helps
customers get more value out of Google search capabilities. As a reseller of
the Google Search Appliance, The Epitec Group will now provide purchasing,
customization and integration services for the Google enterprise search
technologies to corporations, government entities and non-profits across the
United States. The Google Search Appliance enables organizations to leverage
the power of Google inside their own internal networks.

“With today’s streamlined workforce, employers cannot afford to allow
employees to waste time searching for information. The Google Search
Appliance cuts the time employees spend searching for information and frees
them up for other tasks,” said Josie Sheppard, President of The Epitec Group.
“As a reseller, The Epitec Group makes it easy to access this powerful
technology by installing the Google Search Appliance and administering a
complete search solution for employees and customers. Because of the controls
included in the software, the Google search technology provides the right
users access to the right information, whether an internal employee or an
external customer. Speed, accuracy and the ability to access relevant
information from multiple sources worldwide with one click is the power needed
for today’s knowledge dependent workforce.”

“Google is excited to have The Epitec Group resell the Google Search
Appliance as a complement to the Google-related services they already offer to
customers. We’re looking forward to the local resources of The Epitec Group
easing the process of implementation and ensuring customers receive a finely
tuned search solution,” said Kevin Smith, Manager, Enterprise Partner
Programs, at Google.

independent software vendors that provide value-added services for Google
